La presenza dell'"arco siriaco" è esaminata in vari contesti residenziali, mostrando la sua evoluzione nel tempo e la sua integrazione con altri elementi architettonici. Data la diffusione di questi ingressi monumentali in Cirenaica, vengono esplorate le loro potenziali implicazioni al di là della mera estetica. L'interazione tra scelte architettoniche e rappresentazione sociale è un tema centrale, con un'attenzione alle tendenze in evoluzione nell'architettura domestica. Di particolare rilevanza è la persistenza di questa struttura nella tarda antichità, quando, insieme all'aumento della "marmorizzazione" dell'architettura, assume particolare importanza come elemento significativo nella "scenografia del potere".

Soon after its invention in 1839 was photography's potential application for research recognized, however its application in the studio and the field was gradual and differentiated due to technical difficulties taking photographs was fraught with. Moreover, the limited possibilities of copying and printing put off full appreciation of the significance of photographing monuments and artifacts for research. Finally, adapting photography to the needs of archaeology did not follow exactly the same lines in all countries owing to different research traditions and varied nature of the explored sites and artifacts found there.

Recently, the bath suite in the north-eastern part of the house was analysed in detail and this has led to a better understanding of the baths’ layout and technology (such as the water management and heating system), features that confirm the adoption of the western/Italian model, while some of the details remained typical of the Eastern Mediterranean.

Since , a new project began whose objective is to complete the studies on the site. To this end, non-invasive eldworks (at Nea Paphos) are currently performed as well as library and archival research focused on gathering all published and unpublished information on the House. e results of the new documentation made on the site, supplemented with archival data, will enable a virtual, three-dimensional reconstruction of selected architectural units. e collected material will serve to re-de ne the house's spaces from a historical perspective. e comprehensive evaluation of the architecture of the House of Orpheus will become an important point of reference in studies on the residential architecture of ancient Cyprus and other regions of the eastern Mediterranean.

Even if the initial designation "palace" seems slightly exaggerated, the building's layout, the stylistic criteria of the architecture and decoration as well as historical factors permit the building to be interpreted as an authentic palace understood as the seat of a Ptolemaic offi cial of some importance or even a residence of a Ptolemaic ruler, Ptolemy VIII or/and Ptolemy IX. As such, it is of paramount interest in the search for and research on the Ptolemaic palace(s) in Nea Paphos.

Since 2018, a new project began whose objective is to complete the studies on the site. To this end, non-invasive fieldworks (at Nea Paphos) are currently performed as well as library and archival research focused on gathering all published and unpublished information on the House. The results of the new documentation made on the site, supplemented with archival data, will enable a virtual, three-dimensional reconstruction of selected architectural units. The collected material will serve to re-define the house’s spaces from a historical perspective. The comprehensive evaluation of the architecture of the House of Orpheus will become an important point of reference in studies on the residential architecture of ancient Cyprus and other regions of the eastern Mediterranean.

This is reflected in various spheres of life, including the architecture of the houses owned by members of the urban elite which are investigated in this article. Two residential units – the House of Leukaktios at Ptolemais in Cyrenaica and the House of Orpheus at Nea Paphos in Cyprus – will be presented to discuss different attitudes towards Romanisation from the perspective of an individual as reflected by particular dwellings.

Dzięki Jego inspiracji na nowo podjęłam badania losów pewnej fałszywej inskrypcji, która odegrała istotną rolę w kulturze europejskiej XIX wieku. Historia jej fałszerstwa, a także znaczenie samego napisu -zwłaszcza wspomnianej w nim osoby -dla polskiej literatury są tematem artykułu, który jest drobnym tylko wyrazem ogromnej wdzięczności dla Profesora za okazywaną mi pomoc i życzliwość.

Professor Mikocki was convinced that the art and culture of antiquity was one of the elements of searching Polish identity, simultaneously confirming an affiliation to the same cultural sphere as Italy, France or Great Britain, the direct heirs of the Imperium Romanum. Therefore, his main aim was to study and publish the media of reception of antique forms and models in Polish art and culture. Eventually, he analysed different aspects of this phenomenon, primarily travels and collections of original Graeco-Roman antiquities and antique-like artefacts, finally the decorative programme of the entire park-and-residence complexes, where Antiquity had an eminent meaning.
